About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6700 yards
Slope 131
Rating 71.8

Jekyll Island Golf Club offers 64 holes of golf, making it the largest public golf facility in Georgia. The courses are a favorite amongst locals and visitors since it's hard to beat the affordable rates. The club features three 18-hole courses and one nine-hole course. Pine Lakes is the longest of the three full-length courses at 6,700 yards from the back tees, though the course is not lengthy by any means. The final hole is the only one on the course with considerable length. The original layout was created in 1968 and underwent a major renovation in 2002. It is similar to the Indian Mound Course, which sits adjacent to it, but Pine Lakes has a more modern bunkering system. Fairway bunkers come into play for long hitters and the bunkers that frame the greens demand accurate approach shots.

Well Managed

We've played the courses at Jekyl Island a number of times and have been satisfied. Weather was perfect, courses were crowded, but we got around in about 4:15. Got paired with another 2some and we had and enjoyable round. The Pine Lakes course is a bit boring, but the course was in good shape, and we were there for the weather.

Great value

The course was in pretty good condition for 12/7. The greens were fuzzy and slow but still putted true. It was a great value for the money. The only issue we had was a foursome we caught up with on #14 would not let us play through even though we waited on every shot and there was not a group to be seen in front of them. After the round, they were with a much larger group leading me to believe they were part of a league or blitz.

Lovely desigh in a natural setting.

Challenging, plays longer than it measures, fair. Relatively tight off of the back tees. Trees a definite factor! Green speeds inconsistent and a bit slow. Guessing due to the winter rye coming in.
At times it was difficult to focus on your game, due to the numerous island deer bounding about the fairways and resting near the tee boxes!
A real bargain and a definite repeat.

Nice natural setting beautiful Oaks and lots of wildlife.

I enjoyed playing this track. It was a very natural setting with lots of deer, gators, etc...Beautiful Oaks line many of the fairways. Overall the course was well maintained. Greens ran well and had good speed. Tee boxes in good shape and fairways well maintained. It was an enjoyable round.

Rude Starter Ruined the Experience

First, the course is fine. It is an interesting design and in good condition. It was very muddy despite lack of recent rain, so there may be a soil drainage issue in areas. I booked an early "Fast Play" tee time through GolfNow and teed off before 8 as a single. I played the front in 1:10 and enjoyed the course. I got to the 10th tee and found two foursomes waiting to tee off. I asked the starter what was going on and he told me they were using split tees because they had a lot of players and one course was closed. My response was that was a business management issue and not a cause to ruin my round. To which he said, "what are we supposed to do?' The obvious answer is don't take so many tee time reservations if you have a course closed, or don't close a course on a busy day. Either way, jamming foursomes ahead of the early tee times was rude. Needless to say, the back side took 2:25 and I found myself waiting 10-15 minutes on every tee. The twosome behind me quit. The threesome behind them caught up to me on several holes and said they would not be coming back. I had a chance to play several more rounds during my vacation, but opted for other courses because of JI's lack of customer service.

This would be a four star course if not for the management.

Great layout

Slow play with no marshalls speeding up the other group. The greens were very slow. I do not understand since it was the only course on the island that was opened. Cut the greens and roll them, before you work on the other courses. Very disappointed the greens. Maybe a marshall to get the slower groups to move faster. We play here about twice a month, but if the greens do not get any better than I will stay with the other courses on st simons and Brunswick.

Leaves a lot to be desired

Disappointing condition of course in general and greens in particular. Other reviewers had mentioned the slowness of the greens and having to hammer the ball. We thought it might be the heavy rains this summer and that they would be better now. But no, they are left long, and are simply dreadfully slow. The fairways too have long grass so the ball will not run and often nestles down. So disappointing. If not staying on Jekyll Island, remember to factor in the $6 cost of the entry toll.

Great closing hole.

Have been coming to Jekyll Island for many years and never tire of playing the golf courses. Pine Lakes is one of my favorites. Very accessible for all players with it's many tee boxes. Course was in wonderul condition. Has a great mix of difficult holes and fun par 3's. Easy course to walk.
